Mar
A Historic Farewell to 40 Years of Metal Domination. After four decades of relentless energy, groundbreaking albums, and legendary performances, SEPULTURA has announced its final concert will take place at the end of 2026. The Brazilian metal icons have been on their farewell tour, Celebrating Life Through Death, since early 2024, and guitarist Andreas Kisser recently confirmed in an interview with Metal Hammer that the band plans to conclude this monumental journey with one last massive show in Brazil.
“We are planning to do a very big show in São Paulo, Brazil, or in [SEPULTURA’s original hometown of] Belo Horizonte. We’re still balancing these ideas. But at the end of 2026, we’d like to do this last show.” — Andreas Kisser (Metal Hammer interview, 2024)
SEPULTURA’s farewell tour is not a rushed departure; instead, the band is taking its time to celebrate with fans across the globe. This final show is expected to be an unforgettable event, potentially featuring former members and special guests.
The Journey to the Final Show: SEPULTURA’s Farewell Tour
A Global Celebration of Heavy Metal Legacy
The farewell tour started in March 2024, kicking off at Arena Hall in Belo Horizonte, Brazil, marking the band’s debut performance with drummer Greyson Nekrutman. Since then, the band has been touring worldwide, performing a career-spanning set that honors their 40-year legacy.
Milestone Performances Across Continents
Throughout the tour, SEPULTURA has performed at:
- Lollapalooza South America – Brazil, Argentina, Chile
- European Festivals – Featuring a mix of headlining and special performances
- Central & North American Shows – Including stops in Mexico, the U.S., and Canada
- Special Anniversary Concerts – Celebrating the band’s history with longtime fans
“It’s amazing to see SEPULTURA still being so important in people’s lives. Some fans met their wives at our concerts, got married, and now they bring their kids. Heavy metal is a big family, and we feel grateful to be a part of it.” — Andreas Kisser
Will SEPULTURA’s Final Show Feature the Cavalera Brothers?
A major question fans have been asking: Will original frontman Max Cavalera and drummer Igor “Iggor” Cavalera return for one last show?
Andreas Kisser has left the door open for this possibility, stating:
“There’s no reason to be fighting. We just go on stage, enjoy ourselves. We know how to play the songs. It’s gonna be a party for the fans—40 years of history, many albums, different changes and styles of music. And hopefully, everybody will be a part of it.”
This statement has fueled speculation that a full reunion of classic SEPULTURA members might happen, making the final show even more historic.
SEPULTURA’s Legacy and Lasting Impact on Metal Music
Revolutionizing Heavy Metal
From their early thrash and death metal roots to their evolution into groove metal and experimental sounds, SEPULTURA has remained one of the most influential bands in heavy metal history. Key albums such as:

Andreas Kisser hinted that the final show might also be included in this release, possibly in DVD and Blu-ray formats, ensuring fans can relive this historic moment forever.
